Chantel

Chantel was born in July 2008 and at the time of the interview was nine years old. She self-identifies as female and a visible racialized person born to second-generation Canadian parents with Caribbean roots. She was born in Canada and speaks only English. She has a younger brother as a sibling. Chantel lives with her mother in a single-parent household. Her mother is unemployed and a stay-at-home mother, but in the summer she worked seasonally as a camp counsellor in downtown Toronto. Chantel attends a public school located in North York area of Toronto which offers classes from Kindergarten to Grade 6. The school is located within a neighbourhood associated with high socio-economic status. Chantel is in a split 2/3 class which has both Grade 2 and Grade 3 students learning together in one class. There are approximately 30 students in her class. She has a female teacher and it’s the same teacher she had in Grade 1. Chantel has an Individual Education Plan which was initiated at the beginning of Grade 3 by her current teacher. When asked what she likes and dislikes about Chantel’s school, her mother stated,It’s a good school. Her teacher really cares about her education. Her Grade 2 teacher didn’t really. Not to say she didn’t care but she didn’t really take an interest, but nonetheless, she’s been there for the last 3 years. So yea, it’s a good school. The community is more of a richer school. We live around a lot of rich people so they help a lot in the community. They give back to the school and as a single mother if I can’t do something for them then the school is more than welcome to help with all of that.
